so they take your 4500 and fuck off, leaving you thinking you are buying from someone with good feedback when you arent and the car doesnt really exist?

There was an alpha on ebay last night which looked similar....
turns out the car was in italy....
when we said we were going to jump on a plane with the cash in our pockets he lost interest...
scammer said payment by western union only and he would deal with the shipping...
